His End Up: Getting God Into the New Theology

Eller, Vernard

ABINGDON PRESS *

<p>How can the Christian reconcile the bloody Old Testament "wars of Yahweh" with Jesus' nonviolent stance? Vernard Eller digs into the Scriptures abd finds a unified argument regarding peace and war. Obviously, this is not to say that the Old and New Testaments are saying the same thing throughout. But acceptance of Old Testament Joshuas, Isaiahs, and Davids is not a rejection of Jesus and his teachings. God's will has been constant, while man's understanding of that will has been a slow and painful process, Eller says. Dr. Eller doesn't let his theological training interfere with his ability to communicate with the ordinary laymen. His wry humor and clear writing style make even the most difficult biblical passages understandable and entertaining.The reader is able to see Biblical thought from "holy wars" to "love thy neighbor as thyself" as never before. Thanks to the entertaining Eller style, this serious study id made a whole lot easier. To arms neighbor!</p>

Kierkegaard and Radical Discipleship (Princeton Legacy Library)

Until recently most scholars have viewed Kierkegaard as a philosopher, a theologian, a psychologist, or a social thinker. Professor Eller sees Kierkegaard first and foremost as a religious thinker, and states that Kierkegaard himself felt his works could be best understood if they were read with this in mind. In order to show that Kierkegaard's religious thought is essentially that of classic Protestant sectarianism, Professor Eller has selected a typical sect, the Brethren, against which to measure Kierkegaard. He finds that, although the Brethren writers were not as sophisticated or learned as Kierkegaard, there were parallels in their writings on such topics as the importance of the individual and his relation to God, the role of reason in religion, and the problem of freedom of the will.Originally published in 1967.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
